Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 90



90. The Final Proof

A pillar of light suddenly appeared.

The eyes of the ancient dragon, startled by the bright light of the pillar, slowly open.

At the same time, as the stiffness began to ease, he let out a grunting sound, seeming even angrier at having surprised himself.

Everyone came to their senses once again at the sound of the dragon’s roar.

I don’t know what happened to me, but it was clear that the dragon was about to burst into action before my eyes.

“Confucius, avoid me!”

“Grrrrr!”

A tense situation where a brief pause seems to have been lifted.

Iris was reaching out to me again, shouting, and everyone was moving quickly again, rushing towards the dragon.

In that situation, I felt… something mysterious and inexplicable.

As if the ancient dragon in front of you was no problem at all.

It felt like I could destroy the dragon just by swinging the hand at my waist.

I decided to trust my gut.

Okay then.

-Sreung.

Something strange happened.

““… … !””

I felt like I was holding something in my hands, which had never been holding anything before.

It was in the shape of a sword.

A sword made of a warm light, similar to the light that came down from the sky, but not dazzling at all to me.

When the dragon opened its mouth and rushed at me, trying to swallow me.

I swung the sword reflexively.

-Sreung.

-Whaaa!

It was a moment when the whole world was bathed in brilliant light.

“That’s… ridiculous…”

Gavolf, standing next to me, looked at the corpse of the creature cut in two and said in disbelief.

Everyone sees the creature’s corpse, punches it, and touches it.

“How on earth….”

I was still dumbfounded.

That’s understandable, because I was the main culprit.

“Your Majesty, are you okay?”

“…yes.”

“You were chosen as a warrior at that moment… It was a really terrible moment when something terrible almost happened. How strange.”

“… … .”

Iris’s words cause me to agonize.

Have I really been chosen as a warrior?

Then why?

I’m not denying that I became a warrior, but I’m asking why I was chosen as a warrior at this time.

The Demon King’s resurrection will take place several years from now.

The existence of a warrior is… a being chosen at the same time as the Demon King’s appearance in the world and resurrection since ancient times.

It is said that when the world is in chaos and in crisis, a pillar of light rises from the sky and you are chosen.

But why… .

I reached out again to recall the moment when I cut the dragon in half.

Then… another brilliant light gathered from the void, and soon it condensed into a single shape in my hand.

It was the sword of light I saw earlier.

“It’s the holy sword, the symbol of a warrior. I’ve only heard of it through rumors, but when I actually see it, the amount of magical power being released is incredible.”

“It doesn’t seem like it’s consuming much magic power….”

“Ah, it would be a way to convert life force into magic power.”

“… … !”

I immediately let go of the sword. The light sword dispersed into the air and disappeared before it could even touch the ground.

“You don’t have to be so surprised. It’ll only burn a few days of your life.”

“… I think it might be surprising.”

It was when I was chatting with Iris.

“Come here for a moment-!”

A special agent who was collecting the body came running towards us, apparently having discovered something strange.

I followed the special agent with Iris and looked around the dragon’s corpse.

“This is….”

The dragon had a lord’s mark engraved on its forehead.

It was strange. Usually, dragons have strong pride and do not easily form master-servant relationships with humans.

One more thing.

The pattern was one I had never seen before while playing the game. This was… .

“It doesn’t seem like normal magic.”

“I think so.”

There was a point to be made.

‘Is this the work of the Black Magic Cult?’

They will do anything to revive the Demon King.

That is why they laid hands on the Black Horse, a power that goes against reason and uses life force as its source.

‘However, I cannot just state a hypothesis that I have no evidence or certainty about.’

While I was thinking about that, Iris spoke to the entire special forces.

From noble mtl dot com

“Let’s tie the body to a horse and transport it. Since we don’t have a carriage, we’ll have to drag it until we meet up with additional troops.”

“All right.”

“Now that we’ve defeated the Elder Dragon, the other wyvern groups will be quiet as well. Our mission ends here. Let’s go back.”

***

They rode on horseback until they encountered additional forces from the Empire and the Duchy.

The carriage was destroyed by the dragon… The feeling of riding a horse for the first time was quite painful.

I had to keep my thighs tight so as not to fall off the horse. If this had only been happening for 30 minutes to an hour, then that would have been fine, but it was hard because I had to keep my legs strong the whole time I was moving.

After encountering additional troops, they continued to ride in carriages.

As soon as I got on the carriage with Hedy, I fell asleep right away due to extreme fatigue, perhaps because my body was going through a period of rapid growth.

I think I slept like that for a whole day or two.

“… Your Majesty, please wake up. We will be arriving at Ariel Academy soon.”

“Ugh.”

Have you already entered the Lyanna Empire?

When I looked to the side, I saw Hedy already awake, looking out the window.

It was a long and arduous journey.

As soon as the familiar entrance came into view, the carriage stopped in its tracks.

As I was getting off the carriage with Hedy… there seemed to be some noise at the entrance.

“what.”

It seemed like there was a crowd.

Not a huge crowd… maybe 5 or 6 people.

As I approached the entrance, I saw some familiar figures.

“Lucy, Aria? And… Cain?”

Why are you doing that at the entrance?

I approached them and spoke to them.

“What are you all doing here?”

“Oh, Sian. Did you just get here?”

“Mr. Xi’an!”

Aria and Lucy greet me with expressions that seem like they have a lot to say.

Verdi, who was hiding next to Cain, appears next to them… Is that why?

“I was waiting for you to come, Xi’an, but that guy keeps framing Xi’an!”

It seemed like the right answer.

“I’m not saying that’s a conspiracy, Young-ae Aria!”

“Stop lying! Didn’t you bring up Xi’an’s past and frame him as still a villain!”

“So even if it’s not a false accusation!”

Are these guys trying to bother me again?

When I put my hand on my forehead because my head hurts, Hedi puts her hand on my shoulder and comforts me.

“Sian… It’s always been like that. You just endure it.”

“… … .”

I didn’t want to get involved, so I tried to just pass them by.

Suddenly Cain stopped me.

“Wait a minute.”

“…What is it?”

“I have to explain this to the kids before I go.”

“… … .”

Was he still haunted by the past?

Discontented eyes, one eyebrow raised high.

I thought we had resolved the issue and ended things, but it seems like he still harbors ill feelings towards me.

“What kind of explanation is this?”

“…this.”

“… … ?”

He hands over something.

It was a paper document.

Cain then hands the documents to Lucy and Aria and says:

“Kids, his words are not false. Just look at this for a moment.”

“Cain, what are you…?”

“What is this?”

“… … .”

I also read the documents.

It was a document issued by the Knights Templar and the government office.

Most of them had detailed descriptions of what someone did on what day and at what time.

On that list… .

Cyan brace.

My name was written too.

It contains the minor reasons why the Confucian scholar-official Xian committed the crimes of the Bing family before his death.

Like going to the Adventurer’s Guild and causing a ruckus.

Or s*xually harassing a woman from another family.

Like leaving a restaurant without paying for the food.

These are very trivial reasons.

Lucy and Aria look confused as they read the documents given to them by Cain and Verdi.

Although he knew that the past was rotten, when he actually faced it, his expression seemed to say that it wasn’t true at all.

Cain and Verdi spoke proudly to him.

“Everyone saw it well, right? Where did that guy’s nature go? Everyone was fooled. He’s a bad guy, but he pretends to be a good guy, and from now on, he’s been pretending to be good and deceiving people!”

“Aria Youngae, do you understand what I’m saying now? Please believe me! I am single-mindedly devoted to you!”

““… … .””

No one can refute what they say.

In that situation, I sighed.

How much do I have to prove before you believe I’m not a bad person?

How many times do I have to refute you before you realize that my heart is pure?

‘…uh?’

Then, one idea suddenly crossed my mind.

I approached them, dumbfounded.

Then Verdi and Cain stop me and shout.

“Where, you can’t move even one step until you make an excuse!”

“How are you going to prove that you have become a good person after committing such evil deeds?”

“… … .”

I reached out my hand into the air without saying anything.

Okay then.

A brilliant light flashed from the sky.

“Ugh, what are you planning again…!”

“Are you planning to run away by blocking my vision with magic! Prince Xian! … Huh?”

Cain’s pupils dilate.

His gaze is focused solely on my hand.

As if I were encountering for the first time a god I had worshipped for a long time.

He was looking at my hand with his mouth open, not saying anything.

… yes.

A divine power that is never granted to anyone except those who are pure and honest.

The Holy Sword of Light.

Everyone present is verifying my innocence in real time.

It was a moment when everyone’s expression became the same except for Hedi.
